AEM and DPS integration

[Davd_Spivak_-_A]

I'm having trouble understanding the video tutorial for AEM and DPS. If I have a web page that I've created using Dreamweaver and it's an HTML page, and I have it loaded into AEM, can I upload that same HTML page to DPS using AEM without going through the HTML converter to a .article file? I know you can do this for Drupal and Wordpress, but my userbase is too large and the amount of content I have too massive for both of those.

Any answer in the next hour or so would be extremely helpful as I'm engaging my developer team. Thanks.

Hey David;

Here's my take given my shallow use of AEM -- it assembles code-based content at the point where you "upload" from AEM to DPS. Until that point the code doesn't really exist -- so AFAIK you don't "load" HTML into AEM.

Ok let me ask this. Let's say I have dozens if not hundreds of .article files. I have the web viewer app, a windows app, an android app and an iOS app. Each of them have 2 top level collections. Can I use AEM to load the article files into the appropriate apps and collections? Can I create new collections via AEM?

Wordpress and Drupal just aren't cutting it for me.

Adjusting terminology slightly: you have one project, that project has iOS, Android, Windows, and web viewer "apps" -- they all listen for the same content. That content has two top-level, so your tablet and phone readers can see different content organization.

The top-level, and all other collections can be organized using either DPS 2015 (the Portal) or AEM -- both DPS and AEM can see what the other is doing, and you learn when/why you need to tell the two systems to check on the other.

You can create new collections in AEM, and you can put articles, banners, and collections into them.
